One Thousand and Eighty-Four: Misunderstanding
Leaving the presidential palace, Gao Yang sat in the office where he was about to leave, looking at a long knife and a shotgun on the table in front of him, and he was still a little embarrassed.
Gao Yang liked the gift from Basar, and he must keep the knife, but what to do with the shotgun made him a little embarrassed.
Gao Yang has always liked shotguns, but he is not particularly interested in antique guns.
Gao Yang prefers to put a bunch of guns now used in various countries around the world at home, such as Chinese, American, Russian, British, and French, all of which are placed on his farm, and if he wants to fight, he will pick up one and go to his ranch to have a good time.
If you want to collect, Gao Yang's collection target is World War II old guns, not up to the level of antiques, but he likes it more, and in terms of shotguns, he will collect some sports shotguns, as well as new guns with good craftsmanship, in the final analysis, Gao Yang prefers guns that can be used well, rather than guns that can only be admired by hanging on the wall or locked in a cabinet.
Therefore, Gao Yang wanted to transfer the gun given by Basar to Morgan, but thinking that this shotgun was a gift from Basar, it also had a certain commemorative significance, so Gao Yang didn't want to give it anymore.
The time of hesitation was not very long, Gao Yang finally made a decision, the gun, it is better to go to the owner who really appreciates it, a good antique gun in his hand will only be a pearl in the dust, it is better to give it to Morgan, who is obsessed with this way.
Gao Yang's decision was to ask Morgan if the shotgun that Barsar sent was expensive, meaningful, and valuable, then give it to Morgan, if the gun was not a masterpiece. It belongs to the more common kind of antique guns. Then he left it himself.
Gao Yang finally picked up the phone. I dialed Morgan's phone.
Morgan answered the phone and smiled, "Gao, you haven't called me for a long time, and you're disturbing my sleep again." ”
Gao Yang smiled: "I found a shotgun!" ”
Morgan's breathing stopped, but he soon cried out and trembled, "Oh God! You've found it! ”
Gao Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "What did you find?" ”
Gao Yang quickly understood that Morgan had misunderstood. He thought he had found Princess Sissi's gun, and after thinking about it, Gao Yang immediately said urgently: "Oh, don't get too excited, I just got an antique gun, but it's not the one you want the most, hey, man, I seem to have given you three shotguns, I said." It's just the same situation as the previous times, which is a pity. It's not the one you want. ”
Morgan breathed a long sigh of relief and said, "Oh, when you said the shotgun, I thought you found it, I always thought that maybe you were the only one who could help me find it, and all I thought about was the gun, so as soon as you said that you found a gun, I subconsciously thought it was the gun." ”
After sighing regretfully, Morgan smiled, "Where did you get the gun this time?" Grabbed like the previous two? ”
Gao Yang smiled: "Don't talk nonsense, this time it was not robbed, it was given to me by someone, and the Syrian president personally gave it to me." ”
"Basar sent you? Well, it wasn't you who snatched it from the presidential palace in Basar? Haha, just kidding, Basar sent it, it must be a good gun, after those rich guys in the Middle East entered this field of antique gun collection, not only did they raise the price, but those rich guys also bought a lot of fucking good guns, damn it, those guys know what to collect! ”
When it comes to shotguns, Morgan is full of complaints, as long as it is an antique, it must have the characteristics of scarcity and irreproducibility, Morgan entered the collection of antique guns is not very late, but it is a pity that those oil tycoons in the Middle East made a fortune earlier, when Morgan tried to buy his favorite antique guns in Europe, he sadly found that all the good goods that can enter the market circulation have been mostly collected by buyers from the Middle East.
Auctions are frequent, but especially good collections are not always available, the worst thing is that collectors of antique guns are often either rich or expensive, after World War II is some of Europe affected by the war, had to sell ancestral old guns or collections of the peak, and this batch of guns, most of them were bought by people from the Middle East, in terms of Morgan's age, he certainly failed to catch up with this period.
Nowadays, the collection of antique guns is not a popular category, there are often antique guns for sale at auctions, and occasionally there will be a special auction, but since antique guns have not been hyped to a very high price, they will naturally not appear in large quantities on the market, and basically, what can be bought will not be particularly good.
As for those tyrants in the Middle East, they don't care about the market situation, and don't think about coming out again when they get into their hands, unless one day the oil in the Middle East is exhausted, and those tyrants want to go bankrupt, maybe it will be possible to send a batch of antique guns to the market of this collection.
Thinking about it, Gao Yang found that one of the shotguns he gave Morgan was snatched from Gaddafi's palace, and two were snatched from the oil tyrants who went to South Sudan to hunt, and this time, it was Basar who gave him, although not all of them were obtained in the Middle East, but they were all obtained from people in a cultural circle.
Can be held money is not money, buy things do not seek the most expensive but more expensive oil tyrants look at the shotgun, how can it be a general goods, the gun factory mass production of goods they can never look down on, must be handmade by top gunsmiths, but also have to be in perfect condition can be used, it is possible to be seen by them, so the three antique guns that Gao Yang snatched are all the top good goods.
Thinking of this, Gao Yang felt that the shotgun that Basar gave him should not be able to be saved, and it must have to fall into Morgan's hands.
Sighing, Gao Yang smiled: "Morgan, you told me the names of the most famous gunsmiths in Europe, well, the gun that Basar gave me does have the name of the gunsmith engraved on it, but I haven't heard you talk about it, I don't know how much this gun is worth." ”
"Say the name."
"Denechal R. Dayler."
"Fack! Fack! Fack! ”
Morgan, who has always been mild-mannered, burst into foul language, and Gao Yang confirmed that he couldn't keep the gun.
"What's wrong?"
"Denechal R. Dayler, the most famous gunsmith in France at the beginning of the nineteenth century, he did not specialize in making zuò shotguns, he mainly made zuò smoothbore rifles at that time, but he made zuò shotguns are equally famous, but the number is extremely small, well, none of this matters, the important thing is that de Nechar was the royal gunsmith of Emperor Napoleon!"
Gao Yang was stunned and said, "Emperor Napoleon?"
"Yes, Napoleon I! Any idea why I didn't mention Denechal's name to you? Because it was generally believed in the collecting community that there were no works of his in existence at all, and that's it! Man, you're making a fortune! You really made a lot of money, in terms of scarcity, there is no gun that can compare with the gun in your hand, high, tell me, what is the quality of the gun in your hand? ”
Gao Yang looked at it and said with a wry smile: "Perfect!" Except for the traces of time, there is no damage or stain. ”
Morgan said to himself, "My God, Gao, you're such an enviable fellow!" ”
Gao Yang sighed and said, "My God, Morgan, you are such an enviable fellow!" ”
"Why do you say that?"
"Man, no matter how good this gun is, it doesn't have to be yours in the end, and this is not the first time?"
"God, you're going to give it to me?"
"Isn't it surprising? It's not the first time. ”
"Me! I! Wait a minute, happiness came too suddenly, I need to calm down! ”
Gao Yang heard Morgan's roar, Morgan pulled his throat, covered the microphone and yelled loudly, but he still heard it.
After yelling several times, Morgan put the phone back to his mouth and said with a rough breath: "High! I knew you were a good man, you were a good man, I loved you to death, really, if Bob was a girl, if I had a daughter, I would marry her to you. ”
After Gao Yang thought about Bob's appearance as a woman, he had a chill, and after a shiver, he smiled bitterly: "You should be glad that your words were not heard by Yelena, okay man, wait, I will return to China soon, and you will be able to see your new gun then." ”
"Where are you? I'll send a plane to pick you up right away, man, treat my darling well, don't bump into it, be careful. ”
Gao Yang smiled: "It's not your baby yet, be careful that I change my mind, as for picking us up, forget it, I'm still in Syria, and your private jet can't get in." ”
"Oh, Syria really can't work, anyway, you call, when are you leaving Syria, go to that airport and tell me, I'll pick you up personally, when will you come back, tomorrow?"
Gao Yang thought for a while and said, "Not necessarily, it may not work tomorrow, I think it should be the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow, when the time comes, I will call you in advance, this time I want to take a good rest for a while and have a good time with Yelena for a few days." ”
"Okay, no problem, well, where are you going? Global travel? My plane is yours to use, you can go wherever you want during this time, and the plane will follow you all the way! ”
Gao Yang laughed and said, "I thought you were going to send me the plane." ”
Morgan immediately said: "Okay, no problem, I'll send you if you want, but are you sure you want to have two pilots, special maintenance personnel, and take care of the maintenance of the plane and other problems?" Take it if you want, I'll give it to you, really, I'm not kidding, in fact I'm planning to get a bigger new plane, and also, with our diamond mine as a base, if you don't want an old plane, you want a new one, then I'll give you a new one. ”
Gao Yang smiled bitterly: "Forget it, save it, you know I'm joking, what do I want a private jet that can fly intercontinentally?" I'm not a trapeze artist who needs to run around every day like you, I need a plane that is a two-seater plane. ”
Morgan smiled: "Since I talked about this question, I think it's better to ask you in advance, what do you think I should use as a thank you for it?" ”
Gao Yang thought for a while and said, "It's also a gun, but I haven't figured out what I want yet, well, I have to think about it seriously, and I'll tell you when we meet." (To be continued......) R1292
